About the producer

Now in its third generation of producers, it is located at the intersection of the historic Cannubi and Brunate hills, emblematic areas where the Barolo DOCG is produced. They make wine according to the classic method and produce about 25,000 bottles a year. The wines on offer by the Borgogno family are: DOCG Barolo Brunate, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Langhe Favorita.

Vinification (Wine-making)

Method: the process of the product’s transformation begins: wine-making starts in the Barolo winery with pressing and the traditional fermentation of about thirty days.
The entire philosophy of our Barolo is rigorously traditional, with fairly lengthy macerations followed by long maturations of about three years in 30 or 50-hectolitre oak Slavonian barrels and 12 months’ bottle ageing before release. It can be enjoyed after a few months in the bottle, but will continue improving and developing its elegance during the years…. it is the true jewel of Italian and international enology.Temperature: 25 – 28°Length: 1 monthMalolactic: doneAging: in slavonian oakAge of barrels: 5 yearsWood type: oakBarrels type: Slavonian oakAging time in wood: 3 yearsMinimum aging in bottle: 6 months
